Unhappy New Year!

Rate Watch

Another Year of Insane Rate Increases

As widely reported, 2024 brought massive rate increases to California’s ratepayers across all major investor-owned utilities. 2025 is already shaping up to be more of the same, even as legislators amp up concerns about energy affordability!

  • Rate Increases greatly exceeding inflation are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. All 3 major investor-owned utilities (PG&E, SCE and SDG&E) have pending or recently-approved rate increases averaging 10% or more annually.
  • CPUC approved wildfire mitigation costs, including PG&E’s bloated, unnecessary and uber-expensive undergrounding program will add as much as $9 billion in statewide costs in 2025 alone.
  • PG&E implemented five separate rate increases in 2024.

Californians are fed up! Policymakers need to get control of skyrocketing energy costs.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
